Still sad that I didn’t grow to 5’7” so that I had the opportunity to join the Rockettes. Book trade chica. Trying to understand this world and how to make things better for people. Maybe making Kate Bush and Dolly Parton world leaders would work

Effing hell- how can a child of ten represent themselves. The NT govt’s regression to just plain racism is disgusting. And also there aren’t enough lawyers to represent children or anyone there. It’s a carceral state. They won’t close the youth detention centres, they’ll just keep locking up kids
Children as young as 10 could be forced to represent themselves in Northern Territory courts after Legal Aid Northern Territory announced it would immediately cease free legal representation to people charged with crimes unless they are already in custody. satpa.pe/CvmyI82
NT cuts legal aid for anyone out of custody
The Northern Territory has made widespread cuts to free legal representation, leaving children as young as 10 to represent themselves in court.

Went to a pub a few weeks ago with my sister, neither of us knowing it was an Oktoberfest day with an Oompapa band playing pop standards. Because I can’t help myself, I sang along. My sister was like, how do you know all of the lyrics, and I think it’s just how I’m wired

Something has happened at Flinders Street. Cops everywhere. They've taped off Flinders between Elizabeth and Degraves, and they've erected some tents.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

So Labor and the Liberals teamed up to pass legislation to give police the power to recommend cancellation of Centrelink payments of people who have not been found guilty of a crime by a court of law. It’s discriminatory financial punishment of people in poverty who are already over-policed

Government could start by not going out of its way to screw the entire knowledge work sector. Just spitballing here. Maybe back your creatives when they say they've been ripped off by huge tech firms instead of finding ways to give our work to megacorps free of charge? I dunno man it's a MYSTERY...
